[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 212982, member: 3959"] Okay so I have a little more track experience now since the OP, and have some questions. Sitting on the seat vs standing up? I'm always on the seat when coming into tight fast corners, but I see dudes ripping through standing up and wonder if that is something I should be working toward? Also, this past weekend I found myself wanting to stay on the seat longer than I have in the past after the exit of some corners that lead right into a jump, until right before I hit the jump. I felt like I was getting more traction out of the turn and had more control. Should I be standing up and getting settled in my approach prior to the ramp? Is it better to stay on the seat as long as possible? Or is it just personal preference? Also, on exiting some of these turns I see the deep ruts and the 'mushy' space between them and thought "man I better get in that rut cuz if I dont I'm gonna crash", and then some dude comes by me on a 450 and goes over the top of all the ruts like he didn't give didn't give a shit, and he don't crash, and he knocks down the tops of the ruts. How can I navigate the ruts better? [/QUOTE]
